A few days later, when Jesus again entered
Capernaum, the people heard that he had come
home. So many gathered that there was no room
left, not even outside the door, and he preached the
word to them. Some men came, bringing to him a
paralytic, carried by four of them. Since they could
not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they
made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after
digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed
man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he
said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Now some teachers of the law were sitting there,
thinking to themselves, “Why does this fellow talk
like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins
but God alone?”
Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was
what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said
to them, “Why are you thinking these things?
Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins
are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and
walk’?

But that you may know that the Son of Man has
authority on earth to forgive sins” He said to the
paralytic, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go
home.” He got up, took his mat and walked out in
full view of them all. This amazed everyone and
they praised God, saying, “We have never seen
anything like this!”

A leader takes people where they want to go.
A great leader takes people where they don’t
necessarily want to go but ought to be.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess,
for he who promised is faithful. And let us
consider how we may spur one another on toward
love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting
together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let
us encourage one another—and all the more as
you see the Day approaching.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of
all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so
that we can comfort those in any trouble with the
comfort we ourselves have received from God.
